That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of behavioral health benefits to support you through life's challenges—whether you're managing stress, anxiety, or a more complex condition.
From in-person counseling to virtual care, our benefits help you prioritize your mental wellness.
Behavioral health and substance abuse services are covered by BlueCross and Blue Shields (BCBS). When seeking care, be sure to use your BCBS card.
